Alpha Effect on Text

[klampG]

I am using flash to create an animation where text, once converted into a movieclip or a button, fades at a certain point. To do this I am using the text tool and converting the text into a movieclip.

I am trying to make the text fade away by using the alpha property, but the preview will never adjust the movieclips alpha value. I've tried embedding the font and linking it but it still just doesn't work.

Can anybody help??

What version of AS are you using? Try posting some of the code that you've worked on.

Hi Robb,

I'm not using any code. I am trying to make some text fade in and out as an animation.

I am using an embedded font, but after I convert the text into a movieclip or graphic, it cannot have its alpha value adjusted.

Not sure why it's alpha cannot be adjusted. Try uploading an example.
